1  Come  Holy  Ghost,  Creator,  come, 
Inspire  these  souls  of  thine  ; 

Till  every  heart  which  thou  hast  made 
Be  rilled  with  grace  divine. 

2  Thou  art  the  Comforter  ;  the  gift 
Of  God,  and  fire  of  love  ; 

The  everlasting  spring  of  joy, 
And  unction  from  above. 

3  Thy  gifts  are  manifold  ;  thou  writ'st 
God's  law  in  each  true  heart ; 

The  promise  of  ihe  Father,  thou 
Dost  heavenly  speech  impart. 


4  Enlighten  our  dark  souls  till  they 
Thy  sacred  love  embrace  ; 

Assist  our  minds  by  nature  frail, 
With  thy  celestial  grace. 

5  Drive  far  from  us  the  mortal  foe, 
And  give  us  peace  within  ; 

That  by  thy  guidance  blest,   we  may 
Escape  the  snares  of  sin. 

6  Teach  us  the  Father  to  conies.-, 
And  son  from  death  revived, 

1    And  Thee,  with  bath,  O  Holy  fi-hasi, 

Who  art  from  both  derived.     Amen.
